Hate Windows 11's centered taskbar? Here's how to change it

I actually like it in the center position, because it's easier to orientate my searches without having to drag my mouse pointer all the way to the side of the screen. That said, not everyone feels the same way. It bugs some long-time users of Windows 10 who are used to the far left-hand side placement. But fret not, because you can change it back to the left in just a few clicks.

What to do: Right click on the taskbar and select Taskbar settings. Find the submenu "Taskbar behaviors" and click the dropdown arrow next to it. Now next to "Taskbar alignment" change Center to Left. Close the window and watch your taskbar magically shift position.

IBM wants drag-and-drop connectivity for hybrid cloud applications
IBM is developing a SaaS package to help enterprises securely network heterogenous environments, including edge, on-prem and multicloud resources.

The IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh is a SaaS service that implements a virtualized Layer 3-7 environment to rapidly enable secure connectivity between users, applications, and data distributed across multiple locations and environments, according to Andrew Coward, general manager of IBM's software defined networking group. 

In a nutshell, Hybrid Cloud Mesh deploys gateways within the clouds - including on-premises, AWS or other providers' clouds, and transit points, if needed - to support the infrastructure, and then it builds a secure Layer 3-7 mesh overlay to deliver applications, Coward said. At the application level, the exposure to developers occurs at Layer 7, and the networking teams see Layer 3 and 4 activities, Coward said.

Photo credit: Marvel Studios

Marvel's Eternals is a very different beast to many other MCU movies; directed by autheor Chloe Zhao,  is a slow-paced, meditative story that explores the emotional toll of immortality on a group of extraterrestrials who have lived on the fringes of human society for millennia. This departure from the familiar house style has led many fans to dislike Eternals, but there's one thing  it does  as well as other Marvel films: hide Easter eggs in plain sight. And now that the film is streaming on Disney , a new video on the Heavy Spoilers channel just picked up all the niche references and clues.
